Hello everyone
Currently, I have this machine:
Macbook Pro 2010
15,4"
2.4ghz i5
500gb Scorpio Black 7,200 rpm (I only use 120gb since 2010)
8gb RAM
256gb Nvidia
What I use it for:
-Office;
-Internet;
-Stockbroker;
-Watch TV series and movies in 720p.
Good machine for what I need, right?
The question, since I am not a computer expert, is: whats worty? (A) buy a SSD for my macbook Pro so it can run faster (although it supports the SATA II - 3gb/s - agains the SATA III - 6gb/s - in the macbook air) or (B) buy the newest Macbook Air (maybe 256gb, 1.8 i5, 4gb ram)?
I am afraid that I could not get used to the 13,3" screen since I am used to the 15,4".
Actually, this thread was to help me to answer this question: is it worth it to buy a MBA or to upgrade my 15,4 2010 MBP with a SSD?
And there's something more: I live in Brazil. Here, every Apple product costs me the double of what americans pay. The cheapest Retina 15,4 MBP costs 5,000 dollars in the Online Apple Store, just as an example.
Lets talk about numbers, so we can put things straight.
256gb SSD Vertex 4: 290 dollars
Macbook Air (i7 2.0ghz; 8gb; 256gb): 2,700 dollars
My own 2010 15,4" Macbook Pro (when I sell it): 1,500 dollars.
Can you help me here?
Thanks in advance
